I left the house at 05.35 to go to work, I had a motorcycle that I pushed to the side of the road to start it because of the noisy engine. It was a very cold, frosty morning, and I had to wipe the frost off the seat.

I happened to look up at the clear dark sky, it was at this moment that I noticed this very large triangular shape in the sky almost directly above me, for a split second I thought it was an RAF Vulcan bomber, but quickly realized it didn't match the description or behavior of any conventional aircraft I knew, this object was just a very large black triangle with no lights and It was flying in a straight direction very, very slowly, and if I had to guess at what speed it was going, I would say it was going 15 to 20 mph.

I just stood there and stared at him in amazement for a few minutes before he left my property from behind the trees, I jumped on my motorcycle and the road in the direction he was going, and managed to spot him again in the distance, traveling in a straight North direction that I estimated would eventually lead him to Southampton airport.

At some point, he disappeared from the scene, and I continued on my way to work, trying to come up with an excuse for being late. I never mentioned this to anyone for fear of being ridiculed.

What I observed was a hard object with sharp edges that wasn't a normal airplane or cloud, most UFO sightings I've heard of. I have to admit I don't believe it, but I can't think of anything made by earth or natural that fits what I've seen.
